The seven-time French champion fired Puel earlier this week, ending the coach’s disappointing three-year tenure at the club.

Lyon reached the Champions League semifinals for the first time in 2010 but hasn’t won a trophy since Puel took over from Alain Perrin, who led Lyon to the league and French Cup double in 2007-08.

The 45-year-old Garde started his career with Lyon where he played nine years before joining Strasbourg then Arsenal. He returned to the club in 2003 as a staff member.

Gary Speed has revealed the identity of those who will make up his first selection as Wales boss.

The incoming coach will make his bow as an international manager in the opening game of the Carling Nations Cup on Tuesday.

Wales travel to Dublin to take on Republic of Ireland in a fixture billed as a friendly, but is expected to be taken very seriously by both sides.

Speed has seen his preparations for the game hampered by a number of withdrawals, but he still has plenty of experience available to him.

He has wasted no time in making a decision on who will figure in his starting XI, naming his side 24 hours before the game.

Wolves keeper Wayne Hennessey has been given the nod between the sticks, with Blackpool's Neal Eardley, Aston Villa's James Collins, Stoke's Danny Collins and Bolton's Sam Ricketts making up the back four.

Norwich's Andrew Crofts and Blackpool's David Vaughan will anchor the midfield, allowing Reading duo Simon Church and Hal Robson-Kanu and Leicester's Andy King to bomb forward.

Nottingham Forest striker Robert Earnshaw will lead the line as a lone frontman.

Speed is happy with his choice and has also revealed that Villa centre-half Collins will captain the side in the absence of Craig Bellamy.

He said: "James is captain. With the withdrawals and the game on Sunday it would be very tough for me to name a permanent captain as yet.

"It's given me time to meet the lads, be around the camp and see what's going on. We'll make a permanent decision before the England game."

Speed also claims to have benefited from the spate of withdrawals, with his options having been limited as a result.

He said: "It is a busy time of the season. I've been in touch with the boys.

"Gareth (Bale) and a few others have been down to see me. It is in the middle of the season, a tough schedule and you are going to expect withdrawals.

"I don't think the commitment of the players who are not here is in doubt and the withdrawals have made the job a bit easier."

Do you think buying something as simple as a domain name means that industry is free from scams? If you do think again, since everyday hundreds of people get milked out of their money thinking they are going to get a perfect domain name. Granted, fraudulent domain name companies haven't received as much press as 'work-at-home' companies or other businesses of that nature, but they are still just as deviant. The two main ways a domain name company goes about scamming its customers involves either selling the domain name at a ridiculously high price and/or not delivering the domain name as promised.

The typical price of a domain name ranges from being 0 dollars to around $35. However, if a domain name company is shady they could charge a price that is much higher. This fee could range from $300 to over $2,000. And, unlike legitimate web hosting companies that might charge such a fee, domain name companies of a shady vein do not offer other services such as web hosting or marketing assistance. Their sole sale is of the domain name.

The second way fraudulent domain name companies scam people is by not providing a domain name at all. This happens a lot with so-called 'free' domain names, but can also happen with paid ones of any price. The normal turnaround time for domain name forwarding ranges from 1 to 7 days. If this timeframe has passed and a customer has not received a domain name, they probably won't receive one.

What does a person do if they discovered they've been scammed? Well, if they fall for the first scam where they pay hundreds for a domain name, they may not be able to do much, if the company does indeed deliver the domain name. At most they could try to get a refund, but this is a long shot since companies that shady probably won't allow for such things.

On the other hand, if a domain name hasn't been delivered at all, a person can first file a complaint with the Internet Crime Center, (also known as IC3). This organization has a partnership with the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center. So, if they think a domain name company has acted in a fraudulent manner, they could use these entities to help conduct criminal investigations against them.

Next, the jilted party needs to consider filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Although this organization doesn't have as many legal/governmental ties as the Internet Crime Center, it still has a lot of power. This is because many people turn to the BBB before they decide to do business with a company. By filing a complaint with them, a person that has been scammed could protect others from undergoing these same difficulties.

Finally, there's the option of reporting the fraud to the credit card company or payment processor. If a credit card company determines fraud has occurred, webmasters will at least get their money back. If payment processors such as Paypal think fraud has occurred, they will proceed with freezing the account of the domain name company. When this happens they cannot do further business until they clear up the discrepancy.
